Ultra-high accuracy elevation and pressure telemetry devices are used to develop an autonomous, self-calibrating hydraulic piping network computer simulation model. Virtual pressure reducing valve (PRV) model elements force a local downstream calibration of the model using the pressure telemetry data, overcoming the potential ill conditioned state when simulating wide ranging, real world operational conditions. This technique also creates a smaller solution set for calibration optimization algorithms such as machine learning. Additional benefits of this technique include the ability to ignore complex facilities such as pump stations, water storage tanks, and control valves enabling a more rapid development of the real-time water piping network computer simulation model.

The present invention discloses a device for flow control of fluid in pipelines to various utility fluid outlets like water taps and the like by blocking fluid flow from pipeline to said utility fluid outlet when the flow exceeds a predetermined flow rate. In other word, the present invention discloses an automatic fluid flow controlling device for restricting and/or stopping flow of the fluid medium miming through the guiding means or the tubing system when fluid flow exceed a certain flow rate as well as stopping flow of the running fluid flow when fluid level in the vessel wherein the running fluid is being delivered reaches a certain height.

The present invention discloses a node flow optimization distribution method for improving the accuracy of transient hydraulic simulation of a water supply in-series pipeline. The present invention optimizes the flow distribution coefficients of intermediate nodes to minimize the impact thereof on the calculation and analysis of transient flow. Further, the simplified error generated by the node flow distribution can be quantified and evaluated by the control threshold of the simplified errors to achieve effective control of the simplified process. In addition, the simplified operation of the method of the present invention is carried out sequentially from the intermediate node with the smallest simplified error, which effectively overcomes the potential defect of the conventional node flow distribution that leads to a significant reduction in the accuracy of the model, and can ensure the reliability and accuracy of the simplified operation of the same-diameter in-series pipeline.

A system and method for an underground stormwater storage system which may comprise a pit, a structure, and a liner. The structure may be disposed within the center of the pit and surround by the porous backfill and wherein outlets are disposed on the crown of the structure. A liner may form the outer layer of the pit. A method for releasing stormwater may comprise capturing stormwater from a surface, containing the stormwater within a structure, releasing a volume of the stormwater from the structure and draining an additional volume of the stormwater from the crown of the structure from an outlet when the structure is capturing more stormwater than it is releasing.

An electronic sensing and allocation system is provided for a distributed water infrastructure containing a plurality of differing appliances. The system may receive, from at least one sensor upstream of the plurality of differing appliances, a plurality of signals indicative of water usage within the distributed water infrastructure. The system may output a first indication of a first volume of water together with an indicator attributing the first volume of water to a first rate schedule, and output a second indication of a second volume of water together with an indicator attributing the second volume of water to a second rate schedule. The system may enable billing of the first and second volumes of water to a consumer at differing rates based on differing uses.

An abnormal consumption detection system is provided with remote valve control for a distributed water infrastructure. The system may comprise an electronically controllable valve, a remote communication transmitter, a remote communication receiver, at least one sensor for measuring water flow information associated with the distributed water infrastructure, and at least one processor. The system may determine from the water flow information obtained from the at least one sensor a potential abnormal consumption associated with the distributed water infrastructure. The system may automatically close a valve, without human intervention, when the potential abnormal consumption is determined. The system may transmit, via the remote communication transmitter to a remote administrator, alert information about the potential abnormal consumption to enable an administrator to decide based on the transmitted information whether to reopen the valve. The system may receive from the administrator via the remote communication receiver a control signal to reopen the valve, despite the information about the potential abnormal consumption, and reopen the valve.
